That would be a HUGE Conflict of Interest if he was also a Government Official overseeing things like Regulation and Contracts! Intel would be his THIRD or FOURTH or FIFTH company that would rely on Government Funding!

As if republicans would care…
I don't see how Qualcomm buying Intel ever flies when Nvidia was blocked from buying ARM.
Corruption
Imagine being a business willing to risk everything getting involved with this lunatic lol
If businesses nowadays were people we'd have interventions for them or lock them up for their own sake.
Elon has money, intel needs money
Of course Elon Musk wants his grubby hands on the Arizona chip factory.
So he'll pay again twice the amount of money, then run the company off a bigger cliff than it's currently falling off already?
I'll heat up the popcorn
If Leon buys Intel, then I will switch permanently to AMD or the loser is playing with the market.
That's a silly reason to pick a piece of tech IMO. I buy exclusively AMD because they offer great value, especially since they support their sockets for a long time. For their GPUs, they have fantastic drivers on Linux.
I honestly don't care who owns them, I care that the quality is good for the price. I don't find that to be true for Tesla, so I don't own one. If he buys Intel, that won't change my opinion of their products, I'll still avoid them because he value isn't there.
switch permanently to AMD
So glad I switched to AM5 on my last main gaming rig rebuild last year lol
This rumor sounds like a crypto pump and dump.
Please buy Intel stock so we can sell ours!!
Please buy intel, its trash anyway. Musk is perfect fit since intel has been constantly fixing and bribing things to appear better than it is.
